    Let's unpack my capsule wardrobe!

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit modernminimalism.substack.com After our recent move back to Oregon from Spain, I’ve been unpacking my wardrobe—and realizing just how far I’ve come. Eight years ago, I purged half my closet during one of the most stressful times in my life. Our kids were just two and eleven weeks old when they both ended up in the hospital for 21 days with RSV. When we got home, I craved calm. And my closet was where I started. What began as a coping strategy has become something so much more: a way to simplify, shop with intention, and lean into the clothes I truly love and wear. Today, I’m sharing a quick behind-the-scenes look at how I’m setting up my wardrobe in the new house, plus the three new pieces I’m adding to my fall/winter capsule. I’m so grateful for each of you who reads, shares, and supports this space. Today’s video is for paid subscribers. If you’re looking for minimalist wardrobe inspiration, my paid archive is full of simple, practical ideas, behind-the-scenes (like this one!), and even a capsule workshop to help you build a closet you love. Upgrade for full access, plus exclusive new content to help you create more calm where it matters most. Or if you’d rather start with my free posts, you can find them all here. Thanks for being here. 🤍

    Inside my simple meal planning process

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit modernminimalism.substack.com Most meal planning advice out there can feel overwhelming. I’ve tried the color-coded calendars, the rigid weekly templates, and the elaborate batch cooking plans that never quite stuck. Early on, I overcomplicated things so much that meal planning felt like another job. It took time, trial, and plenty of error, but I finally landed on a system that actually works—one that’s flexible, realistic, and only takes me minutes each week. And that’s exactly what we covered in our last Simplifying Session! If you couldn't attend live —the full replay and my step-by-step meal planning process are all right here. In this workshop, we dive into: * My simple, step-by-step meal planning system * Creating a manageable meal planning routine * Reducing decision fatigue around meals * Streamlining prep & grocery shopping * Bringing more ease and flexibility to family meals I also share some of the mistakes I made early on (there were plenty!) and how I simplified the process to make it less overwhelming. Let's go!
